Tony there is a line between unsubstantiated made up crap and contract negotiations. Dealings with Lachlan Lewis do not fall in the rumour category...never have..never will. I note that the Brett Morris rumour is labelled "8" ...does that mean the 8th most outlandish or 8th least outlandish. It could happen...I hope not..I would hate to have to hate someone I like immensely but it will happen if he signs with the Rorters.  Note the ref's boss admitted that for the umpteenth time the Rorters were awarded a momentum changing try that should not have been awarded. It doesn't matter that they won by more than 6...momentum killers are the number one game turners.

TRANSFER CENTRE: Raiders lock down No.9 backupMorris, 31, won a premiership with the Dragons in 2010 and was extremely close to returning to the Dragons prior to June 30 before the Bulldogs blocked the move.The Roosters now appear to be in the box seat to sign the retired NSW and Australian flyer in a move that would add vital experience to the Tricolours roster.Morris, 31, is still one of the NRL’s clash finishers.Both flyers would be an ideal replacement for the Parramatta-bound Blake Ferguson.

Watch Trump's body language during the press conference. I don't claim to be a body language expert or that I can read it but I can say (and you would too) that you NEVER see the same from Trump with anybody else - NEVER. No chin up looking down his nose here. He's slumping, head down looking up from under his brow.

Your own instincts will tell you it's "cowering", like when a dog rolls on his back and presents it's belly to you.

The submissive in the presence of the dominant.

This dog is in the presence of it's master.

Foxsports.com.au understands the club has tabled a new deal to Lewis, but it is yet to be accepted.The new contract is believed to be two years with a player option for a third.The club did not return phone calls in relation to the matter.Lewis and his management appear in no hurry to put pen to paper, although they would prefer to remain in blue and white.

&   I POSTED THIS  2 weeks ago & good old  steves wr1  as always goes on about tony rumurs bla bla bla  well gess what steve bingo im 100% on this 1  brett morris is very close 2 sign with the roosters & you can read it on foxsports nrl  the roosters want him & some english guy called ryan hall 

And btw, anyone who doesn't think Putin owns the buffoon from his toenails to the tip of his absurd hair after that performance is off living with the pixies.

The pee-pee tape is real. And that's just the entree.

Trump watch - wow!

Mark today as very significant, mark today as perhaps the beginning of the end.

If you haven't seen the embarrassing, fawning, kow-towing, @ss-licking performance of Agent Orange with Putin in the Helsinki press conference watch it and OMFG!

"Embarrassing", "treasonous", hugely damaging to America" and my favourite "arrest him when his plane lands" - these are words spoken this morning by HIS SUPPORTERS! Even FOXNEWS is in there kicking! Joe Walsh, the original Tea-Party senator and previously one of Trumps biggest sycophants this morning now declares himself a "Never Trumper".

Trump (blissfully stupidly unaware) has forced his supporters to pick between Trump or America and done more damage to himself than anyone ever could.

That's what I said about last night's show but he fits in well. You can tell who is going to go badly...the girl with the pink headdress and the cheek riding shorts was no hope. 

What's with Freddie Flinthoff's accent on Ninja?
I can usually make out what he says in the cricket but need 10 seconds after he completes a sentence before i can work out what the hell he is saying. 
I think i can understand a scotsman easier....

2year deal is good
He has a lot of promise

Gutherson? LOL 

sign lewis up

Fox sports reporting that the Dogs have offered L Lewis a 2yr deal....

Dman’s been MIA of late...... the past 2 weeks actually just like his boyfriend Holland in defence

If we are talking Maths .... then obviously not Dman :)

Rock star? fullback :)

I like Bevan French.

He's very quick:)

my head hurts

Australian Ninja Warrior is a pretty awful show but it reels you in...had to feel sorry for the incredibly muscled bloke who had lived life as a ninja who went out after two steps on the first bit. Very funny bit with young woman who couldn't understand a word Freddy Flintoff said.

Reading the account of the Rorters v Titans game, the Rorters were gifted 12 points including one which no body bar the video ref thought was a try...does that tell you anything...is there ever a better reason to hate the Rorters....there is no ceiling on the level to which they should be despised.

I am glad you put the "apparently" in there and that message would have come from Dib himself, a shameless scheming liar and his close allies Hasler and Castle (I know you tried to leave her off because of the netball connection) The new board is still coming to grips with the scope of the bullschite that Dib inflicted. No one would offer any modicum of support for either of those 3 now. Pay has the support of the board and players. Not a rumour and not heard from the bloke who cuts Klemmer's mum's hair. I think that some need to cast any doubts aside. 

gee, I don't know....Rumours rumours rumours...you can make them up based on perceived needs post them and instantly you get a bite. "The salmon that jumps on the hook" in Paul keating speak. As far as someone goes it is the salmon who ties the hook on the line, adds the bait and then jumps on.

Would take :-  Jerome hughes  , cory oates and keegan hipgrave

Hughes can play a number of positions.... definitely in the halves and possibly in the centres... similar to MBye ....

reading a rumor on facebook  , a  guy posted  reece martin is in demand with souths & the roosters fighting for him 
 also reading the bulldogs its all rumors   Jerome huges melbourne storm fullback , cory oates , keegan hipgrave all lined rumors  that parra rumor i dout that there are any  seriously besides cory norman id take nothing else , but cory norman is linked 2 canberra so i read  cory oates whats 2 play 2nd row we are fine with 2nd rowers we 2  CENTRES most important of all 

Chris Sandow hopefully!

Tim Mannah :)

I think for Pay, he’s had one fekked up ride so far with every scenario thrown at him..... that’ll make him hopefully an even better coach dealing with certain situations going forward

At the board election time, I was very disappointed Pay (apparently) supported Dib and went with some players to support the imcumbents...perhaps they were used as pawns by Fibby Dibby..but I still think it was foolish to show allegience to one group..better to just be the impartial employee.

I must add as well that Pay should have made himself FULLY aware of the crazy contracts and spoken to the Spreadsheet Guy about the backends, ratchets, overs etc...but who really knows if he had full access..apparentlyy Madge did...but a lot of goss and or facts are not what they should have been with Fibster....should be formally called to account when the full report card is available.

With saying there's only 3 first graders in the squad, yeah its out there and it will take a while to clear those contracts.  Morale couldn't be high at present though with the players being spoken of in such a way?

I have confidence that we are in much better hands for the future.

Norman?

Who’s that certain player from Parra you mention Nancy?

Yes if Des and Dib hung around I hate to think how bad it could have got.

Them going is the only thing stopping thus season being a total train-wreck.

IMO the admin at most other clubs is not outstanding and most coaches have their good and bad points Bellamy is the only exceptional coach, but Seboid is off to an outstanding start at Souths ... or perhaps Madge was just as bad as Des. ..

No reason why we can't get back tup there given a season or 2.
